It does not matter what you use to create a react app. The steps are:

1. Install node for your system from
2. Open Visual Studio Code, click on "terminal" on top menu, click on "new terminal", it should open a terminal on the bottom of VS code.
3. Enter the following commands:

npx create-react-app my-app cd my-app npm start 

to create the react application and start it. Happy coding!

EDIT: if you are having issues running it, it may be that you installed create-react-app globally which does not work now. Here are the steps to verify it:

1. uninstall create-react-app: npm uninstall -g create-react-app
2. clear cache: npm cache verify
3. use npx: npx create-react-app app-name

you can create an app using npx for more infos check documentation here

This is the usual procedure to create a new react app.

1. Install React from
2. Go to the terminal and type npx create-react-app
3. then code . (to open the project in vs code)
